Incident Report
| Attribute | Information |
|---|---|
| Target Organization | La’ala Al Kuwait Real Estate Co KSCC |
| Threat Group | Eclipse |
| Summary | La’ala Al-Kuwait Real Estate Company is a major pioneering real estate development and construction firm based in Kuwait, established in January 1991. Originally founded by the Al-Marzouq family, the company transformed from a traditional real estate business into an infrastructure and marine construction powerhouse. This shift occurred after the company struggled to find contractors capable of handling the highly complex earthworks, dredging, and marine engineering required for its signature megaproject: Sabah Al-Ahmad Sea City. Consequently, La’ala invested heavily in its own massive fleet of heavy excavation equipment and assembled an expert team of civil and marine engineers. |
